Hello Frank,

Thank you for your post. My name is Robbin Meng, and it is my pleasure to
work with you on this issue!

Please allow me to confirm that my understandings are correct. As I
understand it, the issue is:

Your client would like to get rid of the POPcon connector and use Exchange
SMTP virtual server as regular mail flow, and you would like to know what
to do for this configuration on SBS server.

If I have misunderstood your concerns please feel free to let me know.

Yes, your consideration is correct. You need to let your ISP link the MX
and A record to your SBS public IP address and re-run CEICW to configure
the email system.

Please go through the follow KB and Rerun CEICW again carefully.

address of your smart host.
j. If you're using POP3 connector, please enable POP3 Connector.(you may
skip this step)
k. Key in your e-mail domain name in "Email Domain Name" page.
l. Finish the wizard.


Hope this helps. Also, if you have any questions or concerns, please do
not hesitate to let me know.

Thank you for your time and cooperation!
